Cement industry finalizes the “Twelfth Five-Year” environmental goals

Summary: At the end of 2010, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Guiding Opinions on Energy-saving and Emission Reduction of the Cement Industry" (hereinafter referred to as "opinions"). Among them, the national cement output in November was 176.58 million tons, an increase of 17.3% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 0.7% slower than in October; the average ex-factory price of cement for key building materials enterprises was 358.6 yuan/ton, up 21.5 yuan/ton from October, up 68.1 year-on-year. Yuan/ton, the increase was 6.4% and 23.4%.

At the end of 2010, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Guiding Opinions on Energy-saving and Emission Reduction of the Cement Industry" (hereinafter referred to as "opinions"). The "Opinions" clearly stated that by the end of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", the country's cement particulate emissions will be reduced by another 50% on the basis of 2009. The cement companies around the big cities have basically formed the ability to co-dispose municipal solid waste and urban sludge, making cement Industry has transformed into an emerging environmental protection industry that takes into account the disposal of pollutants. “With the promotion of relevant national policies, the cement industry has eliminated the rate of obsolete production capacity.” Lei Qiang, president of the China Cement Association, believes that the next step will be to accelerate the strategic restructuring of the cement industry and continue the development of a low-carbon economy. Promote energy-saving and emission-reduction, carry out technological transformation on backward production lines, help the technical progress of the cement industry, and promote the cement industry to strengthen refined management.

Will build cement industry carbon emission database

Policies for the cement industry have been frequently released recently. On November 30, 2010, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology formally issued the “Entry Conditions for the Cement Industry” to strictly control new production capacity and accelerate the elimination of backward production capacity. The background is because the cement industry is not only an important basic material industry for China's national economic construction, but also one of the major energy, resource consumption and pollutant emission industries. The "Opinions" pointed out that since the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan", the cement industry has made active progress in energy conservation and emission reduction, the comprehensive energy consumption per ton of cement has been significantly reduced, the total amount of particulate matter has been continuously reduced, and annual consumption and utilization of various types of industrial waste exceeds 4 Billion tons, but the cement industry's high energy and resource consumption and heavy environmental load has not yet been fundamentally changed. Among them, the potential of the cement industry to eliminate waste has not been fully realized, and the statistics, monitoring and assessment system for energy conservation and emission reduction in the industry remains to be implemented. Establish and improve. "China's cement industry has developed rapidly in the past 10 years. By 2009, the total domestic cement output had exceeded 1.6 billion tons. From January to September 2010, the country's cement output was approximately 1.35 billion tons, an increase of 15.95% over the same period of last year. New dry cement The production line has also been increased from 135 in 2000 to 1113 in 2009. According to Qian Leizhi, it is expected that before 2012, about 250 new dry-process lines will be put into operation in China. Therefore, the cement industry has a long way to go to save energy and reduce emissions and develop a low-carbon economy.

It is reported that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will actively carry out cleaner production audits. By 2015, large and medium-sized enterprises will complete a round of audits. We will improve the evaluation system for cleaner production, raise the level of cleaner production, and focus on promoting the construction of energy management centers for enterprises. We will gradually establish a basic database of carbon emissions from the cement industry in three years and five years.

Energy Saving and Emission Reduction Improve Industry Benefits

On the other hand, energy-saving and emission reduction play a greater role in improving the benefits of the entire cement industry. Of the more than RMB 40 billion in profits of the cement industry in 2009, more than RMB 10 billion was obtained from projects such as waste heat power generation, energy conservation and emission reduction. It is expected that within the next two years and three years, the cement industry will achieve a very good benefit.

According to the latest data from the National Development and Reform Commission, in November last year, the average ex-factory price of cement for key building materials companies rose by 6.4%. Among them, the national cement output in November was 176.58 million tons, an increase of 17.3% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 0.7% slower than in October; the average ex-factory price of cement for key building materials enterprises was 358.6 yuan/ton, up 21.5 yuan/ton from October, up 68.1 year-on-year. Yuan/ton, the increase was 6.4% and 23.4%.

For the future of the cement industry, many people in the industry have expressed optimism. “The 12th Five-Year Development Blueprint indicates that China is still in the stage of rapid industrialization and urbanization. It is a period of great strategic opportunities. Investment needs still have a lot of space. Development is the key to solving all problems. 'There is still much room for development in the cement industry during this period,' said Zeng Xuemin, vice president of China Cement Industry Association. In particular, the implementation of regional development strategies, large-scale affordable housing projects, and the construction of public service facilities to improve the residents' happiness index will all drive demand for cement. During the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, cement demand will continue to grow. In fact, in 2009, the country’s total cement output was 1.65 billion tons, the total energy consumption of the cement industry accounted for about 5% of the total energy consumption in the country, and particulate emissions accounted for about 30% of the total industrial emissions. The "Opinions" propose that by the end of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", the overall energy consumption of cement production in the country should be less than 93 kg of standard coal/ton. The emissions of cement particulate matter are reduced by 50% on the basis of 2009, nitrogen oxides are reduced by 25% on the basis of 2009, and the carbon dioxide emission intensity is further reduced.
